Photo Inspiration- HushMama Style

On Christmas Eve I was all set to tether myself to my external hard drive (the one that I would save in a disaster right after Noah & Chloe) and start pulling off files to use in a digital photo frame. What I got was “0 files to display”. Zero??? No. Fortunately, I work for/with [...]

I got a new job!

Well…I got a leave the house/away from my children part-time job. I am so excited! I am a photoshop technician for Jividen Photography. I am looking forward to working for a very talented and well established photographer. Their photography team has a list of accomplishments a full mile long. I feel blessed with finding a [...]

lists are fun.

What I’ve been doing: -I have been trying so many new and wonderful products and a slew of reviews/giveaways are coming soon. -Getting really excited about the arrival of my new baby niece, Rheagan. -Editing my sister-in-law’s maternity potraits. -Dyed my hair very dark and added some bright red streaks underneath. (this is what happens [...]

inspiration. also random.

I have an art box underway and it should be listed by this weekend. It is part of my “dictionary of thoughts” series. I would love to start a new body of paintings soon. Something to mix my photography and painting…I have never really done that with much success. I haven’t done a whole lot [...]

focus.

There was always a suitcase under my bed when I was growing up. It was blue and old and inside were photos of my mother’s dad, my mom’s yearbook, a photo of her at about 4 years old, and a few black and white photos that were mostly yellow. I kept them and held them [...]

Fight Club and my kids

I should be wrapping gifts right now but instead I am watching Fight Club and thinking about Noah and Chloe. They are likely asleep right now at their grandmother’s house…and I wish I was performing our bedtime routine. A hug, a kiss, and a couple games of rock, paper, scissors. Sometimes rock, paper, scissors, bomb, [...]

Beautiful Holiday Outfits from IGIGI

I was a little nervous ordering my Beautiful Holiday Outfit from IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel. There were so many absolutely gorgeous items to choose from but ordering clothing online has resulted in huge disapointment in the past. I chose the Francesca Dress in black hoping for that perfect “little black dress” and it is exactly [...]

a photo post.

When I really want to take photos and I feel sort of in a rut I like to go on long drives and snap what I come across. I have a whole big bunch of tree photos. I mean, like a lot. Today Noah’s dental work was cancelled and it was so foggy and so [...]

new memories.

Noah has a dentist appointment in the morning for a filling. Ah, his neverending teeth saga is so very…neverending. I imagine it will be as much fun as, well, a dentist appointment. I have been trying to think of ways to make the holidays really special this year. I’ve coasted through the last couple of [...]

sweetface.

Chloe just had to model my newest blanket this morning when I was taking photos to list it in my etsy shop. She can be so sweet and wonderful. And then. Sometimes she’s not. She pretty much spent the rest of the day kicking/screaming/crying on the floor. I don’t know what gets into her but [...]
